Improve Your Local Ranking on Google
You can improve your business’s local ranking by using Google My Business to claim and update your business information.
Go to Google and search a few keywords relevant to your business. Do you see your site listed multiple times on the first page of search results? If not, you’re losing leads and sales to your competition—guaranteed.
No matter what type of business you own, SEO must be part of your online marketing strategy. It’s not uncommon for a well-optimized, high-ranking website in the home services industry (flooring, plumbing, HVAC, remodeling, roofing, etc.) to get 100+ leads per month from organic search!
Our SEO Philosophy
To rank well organically, you must establish and promote your company as THE authority for what you do, in the markets you do it.
Ranking well on Google, Bing, and Yahoo requires three things. First, your website must be coded in a way that makes it easy for the search engines’ software to find, crawl, and categorize your website. Second, you must create web page after web page of unique, relevant, and remarkable content. Third, you must promote your site to other relevant and authoritative websites and get them to link to, reference, and cite you as an authority.
Our SEO Process
Our process for SEO is similar to our approach to marketing in general: Track > Test > Tweak > Repeat. Simply put, you can’t maximize what you fail to measure and track. Better data equals better results.

What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is the process of obtaining traffic from organic search results on search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Each search engine will have its own unique algorithm for ranking websites, and the criteria is ever-changing, which is why it’s important to work with a team that stays current on the latest SEO trends. Using the wrong type of SEO, such as black hat SEO, can penalize your website, which is a risk that you just cannot afford to take. There are several effective strategies that are required to rank a site, including On-Page, On-Site, and Off-Page SEO. It’s important to optimize for each in order to conform to the many ranking factors of search engines. In a competitive market, ranking for certain keyword search terms can be a daunting task. SEO takes time, and the right strategies in place, which is why businesses hire SEO specialists to help rank their site for ongoing SEO services.

The beautiful part about local SEO is that these types of search are made by qualified and targeted potential customers.
